When former school chums Sophie and Gemma reunite after 20 years at Sophie's country estate, the idyllic-sounding long weekend takes a turn for the unexpected.
When six old friends get together for a weekend on a country estate, things start to go horribly wrong...
The Long Weekend 2.30pm R4 FM
Most of us will have been forced to attend a "quiet, informal gathering, you know, just a few special friends, a chance to get away from it all." If, like me, the very thought of this makes your blood run cold as you picture the reality that lies ahead (rows with your partner about map-reading/driving, food you can't stand, sleeping in a bed that's not your own, etc, etc) then you'll love this dark comedy drama. Three of the six people holed up together at an allegedly idyllic weekend in the country end up dead (ha, ha, they get what they deserve) and those that are left behind have to reckon with marital infidelity, transgenderism and the likelihood that one of their deceased partners was in love with a dog (which also dies, by the way). The cast, which includes Emma Fielding and Stephen Tompkinson, sound as though they really enjoyed making this and the only people I'd advise not to listen are those about to set off to see some friends...
